Tyler POV
WEDDING HALL
The hall was decorated in purple and pink, of course, it’s the best color of the love of my life. today is my wedding day and I’ll be getting married to my dream girl
I gazed around the room, I was struck by how beautiful everything looked. The wedding planner had done an amazing job, and everything was perfect. The tablecloths were a delicate shade of lavender, and the centerpieces were made of pink roses with pink lips and peonies. Even the candles were in shades of pink and purple, giving the room a romantic, ethereal feel.
I turned to my best man, who was standing next to me with a sad look on his face.
My best man, Miguel, looked at me with a mixture of concern and sympathy.
“Katie is not here yet,” I said again
"Let's give her some time, maybe she's running late," he said, his voice reassuring.
But I knew something was wrong. Katie had never been late for anything in her life. She was the kind of person who was always on time, and always reliable. This was not like her at all. I felt a knot of worry forming in my stomach.
The guests were already tensed and I could see the worry and confusion on my parents' faces as they looked at me. They had no idea what was going on, and I could see the concern in their eyes.
"I'll be right back," I said, trying to sound reassuring. "I just need to check something." They nodded, their eyes still full of uncertainty.
I hurried out of the room, making my way towards the main entrance of the venue. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, my mind spinning with a million possibilities.
Just as I stepped outside, my phone rang out loudly, I hurriedly pulled out my phone, my heart pounding in my chest. My eyes widened as I saw that the caller ID read "Katie". I answered the call, my voice shaking with anticipation.
"Katie? Are you okay? Where are you?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. There was silence on the other end of the line, and I felt my heart sink.
"Katie?" I said again, my voice breaking. Suddenly, I heard her voice on the other end of the line.
"I'm so sorry," her voice said, full of regret.
I held my breath, waiting for the next words.
"I can't come," the voice continued.
“I don’t think I’m ready for this," I felt like my world came crashing down around me.
“What are you saying love, you are ready..we are ready, you love me right” I shouted
I was losing my mind already and all I could pray for was for this to be a prank or a nightmare
The thought crossed my mind - what if this was all just a terrible dream? What if I woke up, and everything was back to normal? I closed my eyes, willing to wake myself up from this nightmare. But when I opened my eyes again, I was still there, still facing the same reality. I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.
“I’m on my way to France, let’s not see each other again,” She said and hung up
I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. I sat there, frozen, as the words echoed in my mind. She was going to France, and she didn't want to see me again. My mind raced, trying to make sense of what was happening. I felt numb like I couldn't process the information.
I stood up and started walking to my car, I reached the door and felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around, and there was Miguel, his eyes full of concern.
"What's going on?" he asked, his voice filled with worry.
I looked at him, my eyes were red and puffy from crying.
"I can't do this," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "She left the country." Miguel's expression softened, and he pulled you into a hug.
Miguel's hug was like a lifeline, grounding me in the moment. I felt a rush of gratitude, overwhelmed by his kindness and compassion.
“Let’s take you home, I’ll inform everyone the party is canceled,” Miguel said
The thought of canceling the wedding was painful, but I knew that it was the right thing to do. I nodded, and Miguel led me to his car. As he drove, I watched the world go by, a blur of emotions and thoughts swirling in my head.
I knew that I would have to deal with the fallout from the cancellation, but for now, all I could focus on was getting through the next few hours. I arrived at my home, and I stepped out of the car, feeling drained.
“I want to be alone for now, I’ll see you tomorrow,” I said to Miguel and I could see the concern in his eyes, but he nodded, understanding my need for space.
"Of course," he said, his voice gentle. "I'll be here when you're ready." I gave him a small wave, and then I went inside. As I closed the door, I felt the exhaustion take over and I made my way to the couch, and I sank, feeling like I could sleep for a week. But I knew that sleep wouldn't come easily, and so I just sat there, lost in my thoughts.
“Tyler open this door!!,”I heard my mom’s voice
“Darling are you in, you don’t have to think about it. another blessed lady will come” Mom cried
“I want to be alone Mom” I replied and started walking to the stairs
“I don’t think I’m ever gonna get married again, women are devils” I shouted
I could remember how fragile Katie was when I met her, she promised to be with me forever but now she left...not just on an ordinary day...but on our wedding day
I thought back to the first time I met Katie, her shy smile and nervous laugh. She had been so unsure of herself, so hesitant to open up. But as time passed, she had blossomed, growing more confident and bold. I had thought that we were meant to be together, that our love was unbreakable. But then everything changed. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, the pain of the moment overwhelming me and I sat down on the edge of my bed, trying to make sense of it all.
